Description

Principles of Food, Beverage, and Labour Cost Controls has been written to provide students with knowledge of the principles necessary to keep restaurant costs under control and to manage a profitable operation.   This text has defined the cost control course for generations of students and the new second Canadian edition continues the tradition of presenting comprehensive yet concise information on cost control that is updated to reflect today's technology driven environment. Key terms, key concepts, review questions, and spreadsheet exercises reinforce and support readers' understanding.
